Wrentham Unveils New Persian Gulf War Memorial On Town Common

WRENTHAM, MA — The Town of Wrentham has unveiled a new Persian Gulf War Memorial on the town common that was placed on Thursday, Jan. 28.

The memorial, planned out by Wrentham resident and U.S. Army veteran Raymond Rose and installed by the local monument company Tribute in Stone, displays a map carving of the Persian Gulf, military emblems, and a list of those who served during the Persian Gulf War.

The memorial was funded by a $15,000 grant from the State Historical Records Advisory Board, a $16,000 grant from the Sweatt Memorial Trust, and support from the Wrentham Board of Selectmen, the Town Common Landscape Committee, and other private contributors.

A formal dedication ceremony for the memorial will be held on Memorial Day.
